DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) and its Graduate School seek renewal of NHLBI funding for a minority summer Biomedical Sciences Research Internship Program (BioRIP). The current grant was first funded on June 2000 and provided funds for 6 trainees the first 2 years and 8 in subsequent years. The goal of this program has been to provide a stimulating research experience and recruit these students to attend graduate or professional schools and continue studies that will lead to a career in biomedical research. The UCHSC has an established commitment to increasing the diversity of its student population and to provide an experience in contemporary biomedical research to undergraduates that are members of under-represented populations. In addition to the NIH-funded slots, the President's Office of the University of Colorado and the Chancellor of UCHSC believe that the student population should be as diverse as possible and have therefore provided combined funds for 2-3 additional trainees. These trainees would not normally qualify as underrepresented minorities but are economically disadvantaged, from rural areas or first generation college attendees. In addition, funds have also been provided for training of talented minority high school students. The combined program, called Graduate Experiences for Multicultural Students (GEMS), has funded a total of 42 students in the past 4 years. The majority (88%) of these students have expressed a commitment to continue professional studies. Of the 26 students who have already graduated, 9 are enrolled in professional schools, and 13 are in the process of applying to graduate science and professional programs. All of the students who are still in school will definitely pursue post-graduate degrees in science or medicine. The current application builds upon this success and is seeking to increase the number of NIH-funded student slots to 10 and continue offering mentored research experiences in one of our research laboratories. These laboratory rotations will be coupled with an introductory course on molecular biological and biochemical techniques and overviews of biochemistry and cell biology. In addition, the students will participate in brown bag lunches covering topics such as "Ethics in Science and Medicine", How to write a research paper", or "How to put together an effective oral presentation". The UCHSC is unique in that there are no undergraduates at our institution, and that the majority of our research focuses upon health-related issues. Many of the undergraduates we have trained never had contact with a medical school, even if one exists on their campus, and therefore the experience on our campus represents the first contact they have with biomedical research in a dedicated setting. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and its neighboring institution, the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, offer a very talented group of investigators with a diverse interest in other biological problems of significance to the health sciences. These institutions offer a particular strength in pulmonary diseases. The research and educational components of BioRIP is also complemented by personal advising on health professional careers, and gaining admission to professional schools.

描述（由申请人提供）：科罗拉多大学健康科学中心（UCHSC）及其研究生院寻求NHLBI资助的少数夏季生物医学科学研究实习计划（BioRIP）的更新。目前的赠款于2000年6月首次提供资金，头两年为6名受训人员提供资金，随后几年为8名。该计划的目标是提供一个刺激的研究经验，并招募这些学生参加研究生或专业学校，并继续学习，这将导致在生物医学研究的职业生涯。UCHSC有一个既定的承诺，以增加其学生群体的多样性，并提供在当代生物医学研究的经验，本科生是代表性不足的人口的成员。除了国立卫生研究院资助的名额外，科罗拉多大学校长办公室和联合大学人文和社会科学中心校长认为，学生人数应尽可能多样化，因此为另外2-3名受训人员提供了合并资金。这些受训者通常不符合代表性不足的少数民族的资格，但经济上处于不利地位，来自农村地区或第一代大学生。此外，还为少数民族中学生的培训提供了资金。合并后的项目名为“多元文化学生的研究生体验”（GEMS），在过去4年中共资助了42名学生。这些学生中的大多数（88%）表示致力于继续专业学习。在已经毕业的26名学生中，9名在专业学校就读，13名正在申请研究生科学和专业课程。所有还在上学的学生肯定会攻读科学或医学的研究生学位。目前的申请建立在这一成功的基础上，并正在寻求将NIH资助的学生名额增加到10个，并继续在我们的一个研究实验室提供指导研究经验。这些实验室轮换将与分子生物学和生物化学技术的入门课程以及生物化学和细胞生物学的概述相结合。此外，学生将参加棕色袋午餐，涵盖的主题，如“科学和医学伦理”，如何写一篇研究论文“，或”如何把一个有效的口头陈述“。UCHSC的独特之处在于我们的机构没有本科生，而且我们的大部分研究都集中在健康相关的问题上。我们培养的许多本科生从未接触过医学院，即使他们的校园里有一所医学院，因此我们校园的经验代表了他们在专门环境中与生物医学研究的第一次接触。科罗拉多大学健康科学中心及其邻近的机构，国家犹太医学和研究中心，提供了一个非常有才华的调查小组，对健康科学的重要性的其他生物学问题有着不同的兴趣。这些机构在肺部疾病方面具有特别的优势。BioRIP的研究和教育部分还通过对健康专业职业的个人建议以及获得专业学校的录取来补充。
